Should I reach out to recruiters after applying? It feels like I am just playing the lottery with so many applicants so I wanted to do whatever to stand out… but I imagine it can easily backfire

Personally I think the opposite. If there’s any chance you can build good rapport, w recruitment or other professionals, I would do so before applying.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
